The Chickasaw Nation's 184-acre campus opened in 2010 near Chickasaw National Recreation Area. The Chikasha Poya Exhibit Center tells the tribe's story through interactive exhibits, and a sky bridge looks down on the Chikasha Inchokka' Traditional Village, where stomp dances take place. The campus, village and honor garden are free to explore, while the exhibit center has its own ticket. You can also see films in the Anoli' Theater, browse the gift shop and eat at the Aaimpa' Café.
